Our wool.  

 

We keep a very small flock of sheep at our Devon home, on the edge of Dartmoor.

 

We aim to raise livestock in comfortable conditions, animal welfare being one of the main motives.

 

We don’t farm organically, but only treat the animals when we feel it is necessary, for their own welfare.  We do no use any fertilizers or pesticides on the land.  

 

Our sheep are happy sheep, who come to us for a pat.

 

We wash  the wool, then either use the natural colour of the wool (we have both black and white sheep), or dye it using either natural or commercial dyes.

 

The wool is carded into batts - which we sell, or it is then handspun into yarn.

 

Payment

 

We prefer paypal, but will accept cheques (UK banks) , please contact us for details.

Packaging.

 

Felted bowls are packaged in cardboard boxes, wool batts, and skeins in griplock bag then in a padded bag. Other items are packaged in the most suitable way.

 

The packaging is new, but we use address labels, so the packaging can be re-used. We only use plastic bags where necessary, and choose re-usable griplock bags for this purpose.

We hope you will re-use the packaging, to minimise the impact on the environment.
